Innovate UK’s infocus women in innovation campaign aims to challenge perceptions of what it looks like to be a female entrepreneur and break down the barriers to get more young women innovating. It follows research that only one in 7 applications for innovation funding were from women.

The resulting exhibition and photography book shows that a woman in innovation doesn’t look a certain way. Our award holders vary in age, background, education, location and approach.
